“The first few seconds were total panic”: skier Matthieu Bailet recounts his incredible glide
The 28-year-old French skier was propelled nearly 60 m during a jump during the downhill in Crans-Montana (Switzerland) on Saturday. Miraculously landing on his two legs, he recounts these few moments of weightlessness.
By Marion CanuThe big scare turned into a collector's photo and video for Matthieu Bailet. On Saturday, February 22, during the downhill in Crans-Montana (Switzerland), the 28-year-old skier made a mistake when approaching a jump and found himself "propelled" several dozen meters . Landing on his two feet, he gave the Blues' staff a big scare but ultimately came out of it well, finishing in 28th place in the race.
Since then, the images have been circulating on social media, causing fear and/or, depending on your point of view, admiration among the general public. Resting on Monday, the Niçois took the time to tell us how he experienced this moment from the inside.
